Final day of Vin Scully anecdotes.

A few years back, a former colleague — and Dodgers writer — brought a batch of his wife’s molasses cookies to the ballpark and presented them to Vin.

Just a way to say “thinking of you” to Vin, apparently.

Maybe the best part of it, for my friend, was having a photo taken of himself with Vin — inside the broadcast booth. It’s a nice portrait of the two of them, with the grass of Dodger Stadium in the background.

Then came what we know to be the inevitable thank-you note from Vin.

On stationery headed “Los Angeles Dodgers”, the first bit of Vin text is: “5-11-12”.

And then we have the note from Vin, mailed to my friend’s wife who, unlike some people, managed to save her note:

“Dear Mrs. …

“I am so greatly appreciative of your kindness and thoughtfulness in sending me the molasses cookies! I have tried a couple and they are great and the grandchildren will make short shrift of them in no time. I look forward to thanking you in person and don’t tell him, but I think the world of your husband!!

“Sincerely,

“Vin Scully”
